Payne County Youth Services Honors Longterm Board of Directors Member
Submitted by Britney Hardin, Payne County Youth Services John Mills, retired Stillwater educator, was honored at the Board of Directors
Ms. Chloe Clark, a student-teacher in Ms. Ellis’s second-grade class at Highland Park Elementary, has accepted a teaching position at Bixby Middle School teaching 6th-grade Math. She’s arriving at her new job well prepared with a degree from OSU and over 2 ½ years of teaching experience. She worked as a special education assistant for a year and a half before transitioning into Ms. Ellis’s class as a student intern.
Originally from Woodward, OK, Chloe is graduating from OSU and plans to continue with a Master’s degree in education while in Bixby. Her teaching philosophy is “rooted in empathy, flexibility, and collaboration,” she says. “I believe that every student, regardless of their abilities or challenges, deserves access to quality education and opportunities for personal and academic growth.” Chloe says. For Ms. Ellis, the parting is bittersweet. “We are all so excited for her, but we will miss Ms. Clark dearly.”
